Dear Queenie,
My wife and I worked hard for many years and limited our spending so we could save up for retirement. Now we are out of debt, our house is paid for and we can afford some luxuries that we couldn’t up to now, but some of our friends are accusing us of showing off and bragging when we talk about what we have been doing.
Queenie, are they right or are they just jealous of us?—Living it up
Dear Living,
Maybe a little of both. Try not talking about your new extravagances unless your friends bring up the subject.
